Bishop to open Holy Door at Cathedral

Bishop Michael Mulvey will open the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy in the Diocese of Corpus Christi with opening of Holy Door at the Cathedral on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 9:30 a.m. The faithful from throughout the diocese are encouraged to attend.

Walking through the Holy Door, in a proper state of grace, affords the faithful to receive a plenary indulgence for themselves or a deceased loved one.

In order to receive the grace of the Jubilee Indulgence, which can be gained once a day, it is necessary to perform the act - in this case, pilgrimage to the doors of Corpus Christi Cathedral or any of the designated pilgrim sites during the Jubilee Year of Mercy - receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Most Holy Eucharist within 20 days, be free from all attachment to sin, and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.
